My co-pilot, Jane Rosenberg LaForge, will be taking part in a series of poetry readings in September and October 2013. She also has a book --part fiction, part memoir -- coming out in 2014 from Jaded Ibis. It is called "An Unsuitable Princess."
I'm happy to report that my wife, Jane Rosenberg LaForge, has a book contract from Jaded Ibis Press for her fantasy-memoir "An Unsuitable Princess." I am also happy to report that the memoir section (contained in footnotes) predates when we met.
My wife, Jane Rosenberg LaForge, has been on a roll lately with her poetry. Red Ochre Press has just published her chapbook "The Navigation of Loss." Order a copy here. The money goes to a good cause.
My wife, Jane Rosenberg LaForge, has won a Red Ochre Press chapbook competition, had a story published this week at Fiction 365 and was nominated by her small press publisher for a Pushcart Prize for one of her poems. She will be participating at a free reading in New York on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012.
Are you a poetry fan? Jane Rosenberg LaForge (my wife) and three other New York area writers -- Lisa Marie Basile, Britt Gambino and Jim Meirose -- will present a free evening of poetry and fiction this Saturday in Chelsea. Jane is promoting her second chapbook, "Half-Life," from Big Table Publishing. It is drawn on experiences with cancer in her family (her mother died in November 2009 and her sister in July 2010, while many of these poems were being written and revised).
Read MoreTime for a plug. I'm pleased to announce that "After Voices," a poetry chapbook by my wife, Jane Rosenberg LaForge, was released last week by Burning River of Cleveland. Jane has been laboring over these poems for a couple of years. Some people have asked, what is a chapbook? One definition: a short booklet containing poems, ballads or stories. Jane's chapbook includes 12 poems and an essay arranged around the theme of her father's deafness. (He is already disputing some of the facts. Fun times!) Jane plans to read some of the poems at a New York University faculty-student reading in the East Village in December.
